Almond Crescent Cookies

Almond Crescent Cookies are warm, buttery delights shaped like crescent moons. With rich almond flavor and a dusting of powdered sugar, they’re perfect for any occasion.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 24 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup finely ground almond flour
  • 3 tablespoons softened organic butter, ghee, or vegan butter (I used Earth Balance)
  • 56 tablespoons powdered sugar, divided
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ⅓ cup raw pecans, finely chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, butter, 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until a dough forms.
  • Gently fold in the chopped pecans.
  • Shape the dough into small logs and bend into crescent shapes on the baking sheet.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes until light golden brown.
  • Cool on the pan for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool for another 10 minutes, rolling in powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
Ensure cookies cool adequately to enhance their texture.
Adjust the sweetness by using less powdered sugar if desired.
